FYI - been trading emails with Rick since last night - his power first failed late yesterday, and has been back off since morning. VERY near him, there are creeks that have sent floodwaters from the ocean and river, that have flooded many houses just a half mile away from him - so let's keep his family and others impacted by these hurricanes in our prayers. His area is very flat, but he's on a bit of a rise. Around 9 pm, he emailed and said he thinks his high ground will be high enough.

Incredibly, even though I'm 120 miles inland from SC's coast, you would not believe the intensity of the wind and damage, even in my area - many huge trees down - and my acreage has limbs and debris down all over - not sure, may have lost some trees in the woods, which is where you want them to fall. Never lost power, thankfully. All our electric stuff is underground. Only in the last hours has the high wind finally died down.

It's bad here. 400-500 homes along the tributaries of the main river in my town are severely flood damaged. We had the national guard driving down my street yesterday. Houses a half mile from me are completely under water.

My son's friend's family lost her home and 4 vehicles to the floodwaters.

1 Corinthians 1:99 God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
